Kotaku has some rumors about Grand Theft Auto V, the just-revealed next installment in Rockstar's open-world action series. They say "a source familiar with the game" tells them it will be set in a fictionalized version of Los Angeles. They also report "hearing from multiple sources" that the game will feature multiple playable characters.

A new iteration means new generation, as opposed to San Andreas and Vice city being supposedly same generation as GTA 3. I am wondering what this installment will bring? cutting edge facial expressions?

Buying a console game is like only buying mcdonlds hamburger, cause it's cheap, fast and convenient. Also it even has color a and flavor added in case you look at it or even try to stick it in your mouth.

The PC port was done by Rockstar New England, formerly known as Mad Doc Software, the makers of such gems as Empire Earth 3 (Metacritic: 50 avg. and as low as 16) and Star Trek: Legacy (56, 30). Really competent fellas.

a great game ruined by several horrible systems - social club, gfwl etc. not to mention it was a horrible horrible console port which still to this day runs quiet poorly despite look quite aged.

They already have a fictionalized version of Los Angeles for the GTA series, Los Santos. I think it would be more interesting if they did a city they've never done before, but I guess the San Andreas setting provides a few iconic cities all in driving distance of each other.

Anyway, I'm just glad they're not waiting for the next console generation. Maybe MS and Sony won't really take 10 years as they've always said, but they're still 2 or 3 years off.
